Simone Severini is a Professor of Physics of Information in the Computer Science Department at University College London.

He works in quantum information science and complex systems. Among his scientific contributions, together with Adan Cabello and Andreas Winter, he defined a graph-theoretic framework for studying quantum contextuality, and together with Tomasz Konopka, Fotini Markopoulou, and Lee Smolin, he introduced a random graph model of spacetime called quantum graphity.

Severini is an editor of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.
